I got my first speeding ticket in Granville, Georgia under

Customer Question

I got my first speeding ticket in Granville, Georgia under Code Section 40-6-188, going 79 in a 50. I realize that in construction zones my fine can be doubled plus up to 60% junk fee. Based on my research the base fine for first time speeders going 19 but less than 24 miles over is 150.00. So doubled that would be 150 x 2 = 300 x up to 60% which is 300.00 + 180.00 + 480.00 is that correct?

II. Based on engineering and traffic investigations, local governments, within their jurisdictions, may lower the maximum speed limit on any highway. However, such limit shall neither be less than 30 MPH outside an urban or residential district nor less than 25 MPH within such districts. §40-6-183(a)

III. The State or a local government, within its jurisdiction, may establish a maximum speed limit in a construction zone. §40-6-188

Minimum Speed Limit: I. No person shall drive a motor vehicle at such a slow speed as to impede the normal and reasonable movement of traffic. §40-6-184(a)(1)

II. Except when turning left, a person shall not dive in the left lane of a highway, with at least 4 lanes, at less than the maximum speed limit.(3) §40-6-184(a)(2)

Posted (Minimum) Speed Limit: Based on engineering and traffic investigations, the State or a local government, within its jurisdiction, may establish a minimum speed limit on any highway. §40-6-184(b)

Basis for a Speed Law Violation:

Other: A school bus shall not be operated at a speed >40 MPH or >55 MPH on interstate/defense highway system while transporting children to and from school activities.(4) §40-6-160

This is not helpful, I researched and found this information myself at http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/people/injury/enforce/stspdlaw/gaspeed.htm . I'll just go to court and take my chances with the judge. You told gave me information I already had and I am good at math so I know my calculation was correct. Not helpful, I just wasted my 38.00.

You haven't been charged.What follow up do you have here.Why would you not take defensive driving online.You should call the number on back of ticket and ask to take driving.Appearing in front of the judge just gets you found guilty and fined.You can take driving online.You would be crazy to just appear here and plead guilty.That will seriously raise your rates and give you points.

If you appear here and ask for trial you have to pay ticket as bond and they just give you a trial date.A guilty plea just gets you fined.
